year you may recall it was $2.25 a pound. this year, getting dungeness, paying 75 cents more per pound. >> we should be able to fill all of those crab borders for thanksgiving. it is just we will not able -- it won't abcheap price this year. everyone needs to, you know, expect a higher price. >> reporter: also, add in the fact that the price of fuel is up. that's also one reason why the price per pound has gone up. good news is you are going to have crab in time for thanksgiving which is a big tradition here in the bay area. last year that was not the case because of a dispute between the fishermen and processors. they were not getting dungeness crab until after the holiday. they will be having it on the market by tomorrow. at least that's the plan. roaring live, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:18 now. christina loren is back and all these change this week and last week. lot of ups and downs. >> yes. it has been a roller coaster ride and will continue as we head through the upcoming weekend.

pfrmgts good morning, everybody. glad you could join us. i'm jon kelley. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. business meets the beltway as president obama meets the ce onto brain storm ways of falling over the so-called fiscal cliff. it is a series of expiring tax cuts and across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect january 1 if congress does not act. for more insight let's turn to tracie potts, live in washington, d.c. understand -- business leaders we talked about will be attending the meeting. do we know which ones? >> right. a number of them. ceos of ge, general electric, chevron, bay area company, about a dozen of them. these are groups ceos that the president has been trying to get together to back his plan that we expect. he will outline in that news conference in a few hours. part of the group called the campaign to fix the debt really trying to hone in on what we can do to preserve medicare in the process of reducing the debt in

the deficit. >> democrats floating an unorthodox idea. we understand they actually might let the government go over the cliff, at least temporarily. why is that? >> yes. you know, i should emphasize here, some democrats. the white house very cool to this. you may imagine both leaders in both parties, democrat and republican, as well, you know, letting us go over the cliff means your taxes are going to go up, people are going to lose unemployment checks, spending cuts in the government are going to have an effect on the wallet and all of this at a time we are still in a rocky recovery. neither party really probably wants to take the chance of taking the blame for that. both of them could end up taking the blame for that before they are able to fix it. >> well, in the meantime, republicans certainly not backing down as well. wanting to protect tax cuts as well. is there hope for a compromise? >> reporter: there is hope for a compromise. what republicans said is -- let's make the economy bigger and grow economy so people are making more money. we naturally get more taxes. in other words, taxing a bigger

salary as opposed to raising the tax rate. either way you end up paying more taxes and more money in one scenario. hope or compromise because the spirit of compromise seems to be here. in terms of where they are, you neither have -- seems to have really buzzed a lot from their initial positions here. we are dealing with a deadline. >> this is very interesting. one last thing. as all happening as we are expecting the announcement, house minority leader from nancy pelosi, of course, bay area's pelosi. is she expected to step down as minority leader? >> reporter: she could. we are going to get that announcement shortly. keep in mind that this is the second election where they have failed to have a democratic majority in the house. she has been the minority leader now through two elections and certainly possible that she may not -- republican leadership that we don't expect to change over much at all.

she may hand the mantle over to somebody else. we will find out in a couple hours or less. >> we will be monitoring that as well. thank you very much. you talked about the future of nancy pelosi. we can tell you she's already spoken to the cia about the growing controversy involving general david petraeus and john allen. >> i don't have any reason to think that there are any national security issues at stake in what's transpiring. >> we just got breaking news that nancy pelosi will be staying on so she's not going to step down and hand over her duties. we will see more years of nancy pelosi there on the capitol hill. helping run things out will. we can also tell you back to the situation with pelosi, mentioning that on the controversy there, this question about the nature of the e-mails sent between general allen and jill kelley. one senior official says that they weren't explicit but they used names like sweetheart and deer. allen at this point denies any wrongdoing. keley's initial complain about
